In his latest contribution to the discourse, Ferdinand has decided that he's cracked the code to Liverpool's problems. He blames Wirtz for a lack of balance.

"Whereas, like you say, with Wirtz coming in now, he ain’t scoring, he ain’t really assisting, he’s not really impacting the games, he’s working his nuts off, but he ain’t having the impact that they probably anticipated. Yes, Liverpool has looked more open, and that has coincided with the arrival of Wirtz, but one is not the cause of the other.

Again, this is proved most of all by Liverpool's continuing issues when Wirtz is not on the pitch. Far from being the root cause of Liverpool's problems, he stands to be the biggest beneficiary once Slot can set the issues right.
